Outside Tiger Cage Pass, the dukes 'camp!
Yuan Shao wore armor and smiled as he looked at the dukes below.
Even though he had failed twice previously and lost a lot of face.
However, as long as he was the leader of the alliance, everything was under his control.
Beside Yuan Shao, Yan Liang, who was once heavily injured by Xu Rong's scheme,
The injuries on his body had also healed under the treatment of the military doctor.
Below Yuan Shao were Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and the other seventeen dukes.
After Gongsun Zan, it was the Liu Guan Zhang brothers who had not been able to make a name for themselves because they had been intercepted by Zhao Yun.
"Everyone, Tiger Cage Pass is now under Xu Rong's watch and has been exempted from battle for a long time.”
"I wonder which general has a way?”
Yuan Shao swept his gaze across the vassals below. His eyes were bright as he slowly spoke.
The eighteen vassals had a total of hundreds of thousands of troops. The amount of grain they consumed every day was an astronomical figure.
Especially now that they were blocked outside Tiger Cage Pass, if this continued, the morale of the dukedom soldiers would definitely drop.
Because Zhao Yun had beheaded Hua Xiong in front of the battle, the morale of the feudal vassal army, which had been somewhat declining, had risen greatly.
However, once they were stopped outside Tiger Cage Pass, it wouldn't be long before the morale of the dukedom army would drop.
Moreover, even if they could hold their morale, the rations that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers consumed every day was also a problem.
It was fine if they had less time now, but once they ran out of food, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers might collapse.
The Jiangdong Tiger X Wentai was so fierce, and his Jiangdong soldiers were also one of the strongest.
Even so, due to the lack of rations and the fact that they had ventured deep into the enemy camp, they were ambushed by Hwa Xiong.
Not only was Sun Jian heavily injured by Hua Xiong, but he also lost a great general, Zu Mao.
In fact, if Zu Mao hadn't volunteered to cover Sun Jian's retreat, Sun Jian, who was known as the Tiger of River East, might have fallen at the hands of Hua Xiong.
On the battlefield, a small problem could cause the entire army to collapse.
When Cao Yang, who was standing behind Cao Cao, saw this, his eyes lit up as he whispered into Cao Cao's ear.
"My lord, the secret guards have just reported that there is news from Luoyang.”
"Because of Hua Xiong's death, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he massacred Yuan Shao's uncle, Yuan Kui's entire family.”
"Also, hang the corpses of Yuan Kui's family on Luoyang City as a warning to others.”
As Cao Yang finished speaking, Cao Cao's expression changed.
"Yuan Shao is probably going crazy.”
Although Yuan Shao's character wasn't very good, his uncle Yuan Kui treated Yuan Shao like his own son. It was also because of Yuan Kui.
Yuan Shao could represent the Yuan family as the eldest son of the Shu family.
Now, Yuan Kui's entire family was exterminated by Dong Zhuo. However, how was Yuan Shao's feelings towards Yuan Kui?
At this moment, he had no choice.
After all, if he acted as if he didn't see it, he would be left with a reputation of being unkind and unjust.
Even those talents who were loyal to him because of his identity might leave.
He even lost the right to continue using the connections of the Yuan Clan.
Therefore, once Yuan Shao found out that Yuan Kui's entire family had been wiped out by Dong Zhuo, he would definitely launch the fiercest attack on Tiger Cage Pass.
Even if he would lose a large number of troops because of this, he had to do it.
"Success is a family, failure is a family."
A look of pity flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, but he didn't say anything else.
"Reporting, Alliance Master, the Yuan family of Luoyang has received bad news.”
Just like speaking of the devil, before Cao Cao's pitiful gaze disappeared for long.
An alliance army soldier came before the dukes and reported.
"Let him in!"
That Yuan Shao's originally calm expression suddenly surged with an ominous premonition.
It seemed that something terrible was about to happen.
At the same time, Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao with pity.
……
In the camp of the dukes, in the central army tent.
"Old Master, bad news."
"Old Master's family was exterminated by Dong Zhuo.”
A figure covered in blood suddenly barged into the central camp.
He cried out tearfully towards Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the Alliance Master's throne.
"What?!"
"Lord Sikong's family was exterminated by Dong Zhuo!!”
"How dare he!"
"Dong Zhuo, you old thief, you're so ruthless."
"Not good, something big is going to happen."
"Damn it, that old bastard Dong Zhuo actually dared to exterminate Lord Sikong's family.”
As the blood-stained figure's voice fell, the dukes who had been frowning because of the incident at Tiger Cage Pass. They were all shocked!
At the same time, some of the dukes who had seen through the situation looked at the ashen-faced Yuan Shao with a bad premonition.
Only to see that Yuan Shao was like a dead father as he looked hatefully in the direction of Luoyang and cursed angrily.
"Dong Zhuo, you old bastard, I, Yuan Benchu, will definitely exterminate your entire clan and avenge my uncle!”
"I, Yuan Benchu, and that old bastard Dong Zhuo are irreconcilable enemies!!!”
Shocking killing intent and anger rang out from Yuan Shao's mouth!
Suddenly.
"Puchi!"
A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out from Yuan Shao's mouth!
Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of blood due to anger and then fainted.
"Alliance Master!"
"My lord!"
With a wave of panicked voices, this morning meeting ended in a hurry.
……
In Cao Cao's tent.
In the tent, Cao Cao looked at Cao Yang and said,""Advisor Jun, what do you think Yuan Shao will do?”
"With this person's personality, it's very likely that he'll pull other dukes to be cannon fodder.”
"Moreover, Yuan Shao also put in a lot of effort for today's scene.”
"He didn't hesitate to bite the tip of his tongue and spit out blood.”
Cao Yang smiled.
Cao Yang was also rather surprised that Yuan Shao suddenly vomited blood and fainted.
He didn't expect Yuan Shao to know how to act, using his own body to escape the calamity temporarily.
However, regarding Yuan Kui's matter, he would have to come out sooner or later and make a gesture.
"Even the military counselor can tell."
"I didn't expect Yuan Benchu to know how to act. This is beyond my expectations.”
Cao Cao nodded slightly.
However, when he thought about it from his perspective, he understood that even he couldn't think of a better way.
"Let's see how he ends up tomorrow.”
"In addition, the secret guard reported that Lu Bu is almost at Tiger Cage Pass.”
"It's time to end this."
